St. Therese reminds us to look deep within our hearts and souls to see joy not in presents and material things, but in friendships, family, and concern for our neighbors. She said “Joy isn’t found in material objects surrounding us, but in the inner recesses of the soul.” She helps us to see joy in the “little things” even as we struggle.
